-Lurid Crime Tales-
Beheading and crucifiction make comeback.
Saudi beheads and crucifies murder convict

Saudi authorities beheaded and crucified a man convicted of brutally slaying an 11-year-old boy and his father, the Interior Ministry announced. According to Friday's statement from the ministry, Ahmed al-Anzi molested the boy and then strangled him to death. He then fatally stabbed the boy's father when the man came looking for his son. He hid both the bodies in his shop, the statement said, adding that al-Anzi threatened police with a knife when they came to arrest him.

Al-Anzi had previously been convicted of sodomy and owning pornographic films, a crime in conservative Saudi Arabia.

Crucifying the headless body in a public place is a way to set an example, according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam. Normally those convicted of rape, murder and drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia are just beheaded.
If Mr. al-Anzi actually did this horrible thing, I find it impossible to feel any sympathy.

#2  Does tend to decrease the recidivism rate ...

#3  Doesn't that give you a feeling deep down inside about that old time religion? Continuing to treat the Saudi government with deference and respect is a costly mistake.

#4  All very barbaric... but can you really say the world isn't a better place now that Ahmed al-Anzi is freezing his ass off in Islamic hell?

#5  Can't really say I disagree too much with this ruling. I think the same fate should apply to pedophiles.

#6  Apply to ALL pedophiles.
